PART 2 Operation Reference
An alarm tone sounds for about 20 seconds and an alarm message appears on
the display whenever an alarm time is reached, even if unit power is switched off.
You can stop the alarm by pressing any key and then press
ESC to return to the
display that was shown before the alarm began to sound.
Important!
An alarm will not sound if that type of alarm is switched off on the SOUND
menu. This is especially important to remember when you want to use
Reminder and Schedule Alarms. For details on how to switch alarms on, see
About the SOUND menu... on page 25.
If the Daily Alarm set in the Home Time Mode and a Daily Reminder alarm
set in the Reminder Mode are set for the same time, the Daily Reminder alarm
takes precedence. This means that the Daily Reminder message appears on
the display when the alarm time is reached.
The alarm does not sound if you are performing a data communications
operation when the alarm time is reached.
The alarm may fail to sound if battery power is too low.
Note
If the message SECRET DATA! appears on the display, it means that an alarm
time set in the secret memory area (see page 66) was reached.
Inputting Letters, Numbers and Symbols
The following describes the basic input operations for the SF Unit. Note that
you can use the following operations to input data only in the Telephone
Directory, the Memo Mode, the Schedule Keeper, the To Do Mode, the Expense
Mode, and the Reminder.
In all of the following operations, the input or correction is performed at the current
cursor location. To move the cursor around the display, use the K, L, H, and
J cursor keys. Press
SHIFT and then H to make the cursor jump to the first
character of an entry, or
SHIFT J to jump to the end of an entry.
Note
Every character and symbol you input is counted as an input character. Next (œ)
and new-line (¥) symbols are also counted as input characters. The maximum
number of input characters that can be stored for each data item is 384. When
the number of characters you are inputting into the current data item exceeds
374, the cursor changes shape from _ to
. This indicates that you can input
only 10 more characters for the current data item.
